About This Item
Alexander Porter Morse received notoriety during the Civil War as a prisoner of war on the "Maple Leaf," a civilian steamboat chartered by the Union Army to transport prisoners north. The Confederate prisoners overtook the crew of the vessel in June 1863 along with Union soldiers and officers on board. Seventy-one of the nearly 100 Confederate prisoners, including nineteen-year-old Lt. Morse, managed to escape off the steamboat, ultimately making it safely to Richmond. After the war, Morse relocated to Washington, DC to become a journalist and correspondent, eventually earning a PhD from Princeton University in 1885. He was the author of several law books and represented Judge Howard Ferguson in the famous Plessy v. Ferguson case.
